Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT  = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c =  499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Calculate the pOH of a solution if the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is 1.9 x 10-5M?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

9.28

Explanation:

pOH refers to a measure of hydroxide ions concentration. pOH tells about the alkalinity of a solution. If pOH is less than 7 then aqueous solutions are alkaline, acidic if pOH is greater than 7 and neutral if pOH is equal to 7.

Concentration of the hydroxide ions = 1.9 x 10-5 M

pH = -log(1.9\times 10^{-5})=4.72

pOH = 14 - pH

=14 - 4.72 = 9.28
